Numbness & Tingling Treatments Jacksonville
Numbness and Tingling sensations are strong indicators of an impinged nerve, a nerve root, or possibly even the spinal cord itself. However, it can also be a symptom of several other medical conditions. Most occurrences aren’t serious, although, when circumstances become severe it may lead to permanent loss of feeling in certain areas and can potentially cause life threatening complications like a stroke. Numbness and tingling sensations go hand in hand, tingling is often described as a “pins and needles” feeling and is associated with irritation and nerve pressure. Numbness on the other hand is categorized as a lack of sensation or awareness and indicates constriction in blood flow, nerve function, or an injured nervous system. At Beach Blvd Chiropractic, Dr. Winkler offers effective, long lasting, non-invasive treatments to target the root cause of your pain and help you get your life back.
What’s Behind the Pins and Needles?
The main cause of tingling is due to an irritated nerve that sends an overflow of signals to alert your brain of an issue, this condition is called paresthesia. Although, numbness occurs when there’s longstanding pressure being placed on a nerve, essentially blocking any signals traveling to or from the affected area. This can also create an uncomfortable or painful tingling sensation as blood flow returns to the blocked area. The majority of the time paresthesia is caused by simple constrictions like sitting with your legs crossed, wearing tight clothing, or falling asleep on your arm, leaving you with only a temporary sensation of numbness & tingling. However, there are other reasons why a person may experience nerve dysfunction, and identifying the culprit helps us formulate a treatment plan suitable to your specific issue. Here are the most common causes of numbness & tingling:
- Injury: Physical damage to nerves and surrounding soft tissues can block nerve signals from communicating.
- Sciatica, Carpal Tunnel: These conditions stem from either nerve compression or irritation, both of which lead to impaired nerve function that can manifest into numbness & tingling.
- Diabetes: High levels of blood sugar can deteriorate and damage nerves over a long period of time, this condition is known as diabetic neuropathy and appears most often in the hands and feet.
- Poor Circulation: A lack of blood flow to your nerves causes oxygen levels to drop, overall depleting certain areas from receiving its necessary nutrients, triggering a numbness & tingling sensation.
- Multiple Sclerosis: Numbness & tingling are early indicators of MS, and is most commonly found in your arms and hands, legs and feet, and even face. This condition is rarely permanent but can make everyday activities become dangerous.
Why Chiropractic Care Works
Addressing nerve pain can seem overwhelming when considering the traditional route of medication, which comes with a variety of undesired side effects, and surgery that comes with a high price tag and a long road to recovery. Thankfully Chiropractic care offers patients the chance to seek a non-invasive, non-addictive, holistic approach that can effectively alleviate pain and activate your body's own natural healing process simultaneously. Chiropractic treatment is especially beneficial in treating nerve conditions and has been proven through many clinical studies. For example, in 2008 the US National Library of Medicine published a study where they tested patients suffering from radiculopathy, a pinched nerve condition that incites numbness & tingling, and pain. 162 participants with radiculopathy received chiropractic treatment and more than 85% of them reported a major improvement in their condition once the sessions were completed. Dr. Winkler specializes in relieving the “electric sensations” of numbness & tingling through a variety of non-surgical treatment methods. Based on the root of the problem, he may apply a combination of the Cox technique, spinal adjustments, and soft-tissue therapy to help nerve, muscle, and connective tissue function.

- ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Dr. Winkler and the team here are beyond amazing and are all so kind. I’ve been seeing him for about 8-12 months now and it’s one of my favorite parts of my week. I had a lapse in insurance between jobs at one point and they continued to only charge what my initial payment was. Truly so kind and highly recommend!!

But I just found him and though I am far behind five months, I am sure, I am going to get well soon with Doctor Winklier chiropractic treatment.
